I'd prefer something like `less than half of the Committee members may be from
any one State.' Otherwise we either need members from...
Australian Antartic Territory
Christmas Island
Cocos (Keeling) Islands
Coral Sea Islands Territory
Norfolk Island
Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands
Territory of Nauru
Territory of New Guinea
Territory of Papua
...or cumbersome wording like `one committee member from every mainland state
and territory and Tasmania'.

IMHO this is a better approach, but what powers get delegated to the
subcommittee to permit the LUGs to be fairly and effectively represented
without effectively bloating the Committee? I guess it boils down to `What
Committee powers would be useful to a LUG rep'?
